It’s in the conceptual stages and it is exciting.”
The move is approximately five years away, and the
University Hospitals Kingston Foundation is launching
a capital campaign this fall, which will raise money to
support Providence Care’s Providence Manor redevel-
opment project, as well as other hospital projects in
southeastern Ontario.
“The future is going to look very different than today,”
says Nowlan. “We want to build on the proud history
of the Sisters and design a future that will better meet
the needs of the residents, improve their lives, and
make it easier for them to live the life they choose to
live.”
Mitchell, who came to Providence Manor some years
ago after working in a hospital setting, sums up the
enduring character of Providence Manor, which will
continue, as it has in the past, regardless of its future
location. “There is something about the energy and
the culture in this Home,” she says. “There’s a feeling
here when you come into this building that is so differ-
ent than many other places. We live this mission; we
celebrate it every day. It’s family; it’s a sense of home.
The individuals who work here and the individuals who
live here have this sense of community that I haven’t
seen in many other places. And I hear this many times
from many other individuals, as well.”
Over 150 years ago, four young women came to Kings-
ton to begin their mission of caring for society’s most
vulnerable. Today, the work of those brave and com-
passionate Sisters continues. “It really is about keep-
ing the mission alive,” says Nowlan. “That’s what
we’ve been tasked by the Sisters to do. We are taking
the torch and carrying it on.”
